Oh, sometimes, death makes us reflect back.
Sometimes, good memories make us reflect back.

So, reflect back with joy.
If you mother/dad did the best they could with less.
Raised you well with respect.
Taught you right from wrong, even if you get caught up.

Just reflect back.

Reflect back of the love you were shown.
Even how to share it out on your own.
Even, when you an adult and they stated you're not that grown to not be placed on that knee.

Yes, laugh with humor and glee.
And the things parents says when you were a kid.
Even, about the odd ball things you did.

Reflect back, yes reflect back, and yes there will be a few times when you have various regrets.

But reflect back with love after all that's all we truly own.

Sometimes, luck comes into your life.
Maybe, in a lover, husband or a wife.
And what seems so dim?
Turn out to be so bright.

I admit, your love, your love saves my life.
Made me a better soul than I ever thought I could be.

You been a magical source for me.

And I admit, your support has lifted me up.
Made me seek higher things like never before.

You been the missing clue missing in my life.

And I admit without a single regret.
That you been the supporter I need.

To make me realize all my dreams.

You never excel to the fame of your two more famous brothers
But you held your own.
You control your ownership of individuality.

You shine.
You radiate around the various jokes concerning you.
Could make a guitar sing by playing of the fingers.
You left a theme of joy to represent you.

Marlon, Michael, Jermaine, Jackson and Tito, known to the mighty world as the Jackson Five.
All left a legacy to study and to learn.

In a world full of trouble.
Yours has cease as you journey on in peace.

Oh, you are looking for him.
Him, to fit your ways and wants.
One, who will follow your description down to a tee.

One, I call Mister Pretense.
Clear sign you not looking or seeking me.
I am Mister Direct straight to the point.

In what I seek?
In what I want?
Maybe it, pleasure, passion and joy.
A man that loves to explore.

I am the one you confess quickly is offensive.
Because I am above the pretense of acting.
Unlike the man called Mister Pretense.

He that man you eventually will tell how he changed.
When in all reality?
He simply was the same.

He was an actor simply fitting a role of what you wanted.
He learns to adapt to the part.
Fooling some of the desperate women isn't hard.

Just remember I'm Mister Direct, yes straight to the point.
And all of it without any apologies.

So, keep looking for him.
Many men are great pretenders and actors.

Gather together ten black men and a few with be a part of the court system.
Yes, for various crimes like it an honor to be behind the walls.
Where many friends and associates already exist.

Some for-drug possessions and various crimes.
Some for abusive behavior found in society.

Yes, ten black men and the number be more guilt than trying to avoid prison.

And there you find them complaining about treatment by various staff.
But in some cases, they must admit you cause it.
Respect is earned and not giving.

Then you have some simply serving time when they are innocent.
But that's another story.

They exist.
Never been a part of the criminal list.
Yes, take ten black men and you might find shocking numbers.

Many never with a criminal past.
Oh, they focus and have things important to do.
Don't but in those stories pushed upon the news.

Simply by images used and you get the point.
Until pointed out to those in power.

So, take ten black men without a criminal's past.
Only the fools be shocked.

I told you life and you acted confused.
When there is no reason too.

Because you know just like I do that love is forever.
Between us two.
But you should have seen all the clues.

It's no mystery that I love you.

I spoke nothing but truth that love is forever.
Between us two.
And you should believe this too.

That love is forever.
That love keeps us together.

Yes, forever and ever and ever.
